1. They really belong in the Knesset.

There's plenty of room - our MK's are usually absent anyway. Chances are they'd never even notice. Or they could dump them in Barak's office, but save a few for Livni & Olmert. Better yet, send them to Ms Rice at the US State Dept. - I'm sure she'd appreciate a souvenir of her policies.
2. sHOW THEM WHAT ISRAEL HAS TO LIVE WITH!

Nothing like the real deal when countering the arab propaganda.

I am a person who went on Eged to Sderot, with my husband. WE ARE NOT NUTS! Just tired of seeing nothing being done for the western Negev. WE SPENT TIME AND AS MUCH MONEY THERE TO SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE! Try changing the government or at least visit and support rightful citizens in their own country!

I was one of the women on that tour and I receive updates daily about this town and have seen pictures. But until we visited the schools, the teachers, the children and the police station you really have no way of knowing what these people are experiencing. We did experience one Siren and rocket near the Kibbutz that we visited. That made a huge impact on our group of women that day. Then to see the actual rockets was very sobering. And to realize the emotional effect it is having on the children, teachers, parents and families is very hard to imagine. After these many years that this is going on, it gave us a better understanding of what is really happening here. When we see the news it doesn't really effect you until you meet these precious people who have no choice but to live with the terror everyday. I am so honored to have been on this trip and met these dear people who are so brave. I am planning on telling everyone I know about this trip and what an honor it was to be there in S'derot. I am very thankful to those who made it possible for us to visit the schools, the kibbutz, and the Police station. Thank you for telling the "truth" and we will convey this to all those we know.
